Ilse (Portraits of Keybound)

Creator Commentary

Ilse shows up in the first chapter of Keybound. She is an herbalist in Mouleau and keeps an extensive herb garden as well as goes into the woods and other areas to collect herbs. Here she is doing the latter. I used this piece to experiment with using more realistic backgrounds while maintaining ink outlines on the character.

I drew Ilse with pencil and used a brush and ink to lay down her lines. I painted the background and colored in Ilse digitally.
